On opening night of the 2017-18 season, Charlie McAvoy marked the occasion by netting his first NHL goal. Beginning with a Nashville turnover, Boston transitions up the ice on a two-on-one originating from the defensive zone. Meanwhile, McAvoy gets his motor running and jumps up to join the rush as the trailer. As David Krejci enters the offensive zone, he finds McAvoy in the slot where he unleashes a potent wrist shot that sails past the goaltender. McAvoy finished the 2017-18 season with 32 points in 63 games while averaging just over 22 minutes of ice per night.
